Present: Rizal, Heiko
Comments: Miguel, Stuart, Gerhard, Eyal, Cor

Tickets/Topics

 * Improve the wording of "JREs already installed" list title,
   to remove confusion
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152453
   + "Installed in the system, select one for use with LibreOffice:" (Miguel)
   + "Select the JRE you want to use with LibreOffice:" (Heiko)
   + "Java runtime environments (JRE) already installed. Select one:" (Stuart)
   + not always multiple JRE installed, maybe make it dependent (Rizal)
   => no best solution for non-native speaker, up to the doer

 * Dedicated sidebar deck for table-related functions
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152481
   + appreciated (Stuart)
   + Does the table section fill a dedicated tab? yes (Rizal)
   + Is switching between the Table and the Properties tab necessary?
     + no, but it's not intuitive to switch to the table tab (Rizal)
     + automatically switching would be bad (Rizal, Heiko)
   => go for it, answer the questions on BZ

 * Writer Impress : the image compression form should change the
   image resolution only if it decreases
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145161
   + hide resolutions above the original dpi rate (Heiko)
   + we cannot hide predefined resolutions as it is bound to width/height
     and users can enter some large value increasing the resolution
   + the wording with "Reduce" is incorrect and we should change it to
     "Change image resolution to:" (Rizal)
     + also change "Compress Image"? (Rizal)
     + wouldn't touch it because users are familiar with this name and
       the respective, usual functionality (Heiko)
    + alternatively we could also use a maximum for Width/Height
   => do it

 * Add option to remove trailing spaces in the Basic IDE
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94524
   + laymen would benefit but experts know what they do (Rizal)
   + welcome the change, no harm in it (Cor)
   + no harm in trailing spaces, no benefit in the function (Gerhard)
   + known from IDEs (Eyal)
   + have a special function/command to trim or do on save/run?
   + "beautifier" (in case the function is enhanced later) are usually
     started manually (Rizal, Rafael)
   => do it

 * Simple clicking a module gives the impression that this module
   has the view
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145269
   + wouldn't expect a different highlighting, the info is shown
     somewhere (Rafael)
   + same issue for the Stylist (and ticket) with the recommendation
     to use a grayish color for the active yet not selected style
   => do this here as well, link tickets
